First 3 are most likely Africans. First two definitely are, and 3rd looks like one too, but sorta looks a little like a pale krib as well (probably still an African cichlid though). 4th is a leopard ctenopoma.

Walmart doesn't seem to treat anything it has kindly or with respect, so I'm sure their fish are at or near the bottom of the list.

Does that mean I shouldn't by plants there either? I do buy plants there sometimes, the fish were impulse. I wash the plants thoroughly and haven't had any problems. Is that the same or different than buying pansies for your front yard?

The risk is a little lower with plants. However one big issue is a good number of their plants are not actually aquatic plants. So they will end up dying and actually making water quality worse. It might cost a little more, but going where they know what they are doing will be a better experience in the long run.

Don't worry too much though, we all start out with similar experiences.

The first looks like a deformed peacock. The second two are probably johanis. But god knows what they really are coming from walmart.They will eat the majority of your plants and kill your tropicals..........The neons will be eaten first, if not by the africans then defiantly by the leaf fish
